odd paragraph

[Gentle Ben]

What is odd, or uncommon about the following paragraph?
Answer will follow........

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly


you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and


plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing


is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think


about it, but you still may not find anything odd.. But if you work at


it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

Wait . . .

I'm curious as to just how quickly. . .
"I'm curious just how quickly . . " is fine.

. . what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain . .
Omit the first "so". If you're going to repeat even a common word as closely as that, both occurrences must have exactly the same meaning.

. . but you still may not find anything . .
"may" should be "might", of course.

Punctuation 101: Exclamation marks are reserved for exclamations, expressed as exclamations. They should not be used to make the sentence special in some other way.

does not use 'the'

Paragraph does not use the word "the" (or even a letter 'e' as AF pointed out) which is the most common word in English.

I think you are over analyzing. I believe it was only supposed to be a paragraph without using the letter E, as previously stated.

No "e"s.

That's it. The most common letter and this entire paragraph doesn't have any!

Thank you.... while I excelled in math, I had to sleep with my english teacher to pull off a "C".
